28 * cintlog2 - computes log2 of a value; the result is shifted left by 24 bits
30 * @value: The value (must be != 0)
32 * to use rational values you can use the following method:
33 * intlog2(value) = intlog2(value * 2^x) - x * 2^24
35 * Some usecase examples:
36 * intlog2(8) will give 3 << 24 = 3 * 2^24
37 * intlog2(9) will give 3 << 24 + ... = 3.16... * 2^24
38 * intlog2(1.5) = intlog2(3) - 2^24 = 0.584... * 2^24
41 * return: log2(value) * 2^24
43 extern unsigned int intlog2(u32 value
);
46 * intlog10 - computes log10 of a value; the result is shifted left by 24 bits
48 * @value: The value (must be != 0)
50 * to use rational values you can use the following method:
51 * intlog10(value) = intlog10(value * 10^x) - x * 2^24
54 * intlog10(1000) will give 3 << 24 = 3 * 2^24
55 * due to the implementation intlog10(1000) might be not exactly 3 * 2^24
57 * look at intlog2 for similar examples
59 * return: log10(value) * 2^24
61 extern unsigned int intlog10(u32 value
